My Creative Time - September Release - BLOG HOP

Hello everyone! And welcome to the My Creative TimeSeptember Release Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Liz's blog then you are in the right place. If not, then gohere to start at the beginning...you don't want to miss a thing. :)

For my project today, I am showcasing, the"Whimsical Calendar Days"stamp set and the "XL Label Die". I am so glad I had the opportunity to show you this set again so that you can see how versatile this set can be. This card is a totally different look than the one I did on Wednesday. Here is my final project for the week:

The white cardstock is from Recollections. The pretty snowflake patterned paper in the background is from the Echo Park Paper Co. ~ Wintertime paper collection. For the snowy hills, I used the Divine Swirls ~ Cuttlebug folder to emboss white cardstock. And then I added some Star Dust ~ Stickles to give it that snowy sparkle.

The circles for the snowman are cut from the George & Basic Shapes ~ Cricut cartridge. The top hat is cut from the A Child's Year ~ Cricut cartridge. I added some white stitching with a white ~ Sakura Gelly Roll pen. The super cute face is stamped with the Peachy Keen Stamps ~ Winter Face Assortment stamp set. And I used colored pencils to color in the carrot nose and corncob pipe. Oh...and did you notice that I used real twigs for the snowman's arms? Too cute, right ?! LOL

For my giveaway today, I am giving away the set I showcased today on my blog ~ which is the "Whimsical Calendar Days" stamp set ~ donated by the wonderful Miss Emma. (Please note: the giveaway is only the stamp set and not the die.) All you have to do is leave me a comment here (make sure you leave a way for me to contact you if you win) and you will have until Sunday at midnight to do so! EASY PEASY!!! GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Love this card and your color palette. It's absoluely beautiful. My granddaughter LOVES snowmen and she very much enjoyed looking at your card. She did point out it couldn't possibly be Frosty because he doesn't have a button nose. LOL harperpooh at yahoo dot com
